WINGED:
| Message of Grover Cleve-
land in 1887.
But our present tariff
laws, the vicious, inequit-
liable and illogical source
lof unnecessary taxation,
ought TO be at once re-
lvised and amended.
These laws, as their pri-
mary and plain effect,
raise the price to consul
mers of ali articles i'm
ported and subject to
duty by precisely the sum
paid for such duties.
Thus the amount of the
duty measures the tax
paid by those who pur-
chase for use these i'm
ported articles. Many of
these things. however,
are raised or manuCactur-
ed in our own country,
land the duties now levied
upon foreign goods and
products are called pro-
lection to these home
manufactures b ecause
they render it possible
for those Of our people
who are manufacturers
to make these taxed
ARTICLES and sell them for
a price equal TO that de-
manded for the imported
goods that have paid Gus
toms duty.
So it happens that while
comparatively a few use
the imported articles,
millions of our people
who never use and never
saw any of the foreign
products purchase and
use things of the same
kind made in this coun-
try, and pay therefor
nearly or quite the same
enhanced price which
the duty adds to the i'm
ported articles. Those
who buy imports pay the
duty charged thereon
into the public treasury.
but the great majority of
our citizens, who buy
domestic articles of the
same class, pay a sum at
east approximately
lequal to this duty to the
h ONE manufacturer.
This reference to the
Operation of our tariff
laws is not made by way
lof instruction. hut in order
that we may be constant
ly reminded of the man
ner in which they impose
q burden upon those who
+ consume domestic pro-
} ducts as we'll as those
who consume imported
ARTICLES, and thus create a
, tax upon all our people.
1t is not proposed to
entirely relieve the
!, country OF this taxation.
i 1t must be extensively
, continued as the source
: OF the Governments in
I come; and in a readjust-
Z ment of our tariff the in
. terests of American labor
: engaged in manufacture
5 lshould be carefully con-
: sidered, as well as the
preservation of our man
ufactures. IL may be
: called protection, or by
: any other name, butrelief
from the hardships and
; dangers of our present
; tariff laws should be de-
vised with especial pre-
: caution against imperil-
ing the existence of our
| manufacturing interests.
But this existence should
, not mean a condition
which, without regard TO
! the public welfare or a
national exigency, must
always insure the realiza-
ton of immense profits
instead of moderately
1 profitable returns.
As the volume and d.
versity of our national
1 activities increase new
recruits are added to
those who desire q con e
tinuation of the advan-
tages which they con-
lceive the present system
Iof tariff taxation directly
affords them. So stub
bornly have all efforts TO
reform the present condi-
! ton been resisted by those
lof our fellow citizens
thus engaged that they
can hardly complain of
the suspicion entertained
to a certain extent that
there exists an organized
coordination all along the
lime to maintain their adj
vQnfoua

Il
Message of Andrew Jack
son in 1887.
There is perhaps no one
of the powers conferred
on the Federal Govern
ment so liable TO abuse as
the taxing power. The
most productive and con-
enientsources ofrevenue
were necessarily given to
It that il might perform
the important duties i'm
posed upon il; and the
taxes which Il lays upon
commerce being conceal
ed from the real payer in
the price of the article,
they do not so readily at
tract the attention of the
people as smaller sums
demanded by the tax
gatherer. But the tax i'm
posed on goods enhances
By so much the price OF
the commodity to the
consumer; and as many
of these duties are impos-
ed on articles of necessity
which are daily used by
the great body of the peo-
pie, the money raised by
these imports is drawn
from their pockets.
Congress has no right
under the Constitution to
take money from the peo-
pie unless II is required
to execute some one OF
the specific powers in
trusted TO the Govern
ment and IL they raise
more than is necessary
for such purposes 1t is an
abuse of the power OF tax
alton, and unjust aud OPP
pressiye. 1t may, indeed
happen that the revenue
will sometimes exceed
the amount anticipated
when the taxes are laid.
When, however. this is
aseertained it is easy to
reduce them, and in such
a case it is unquestion-
ably the duty of the Gov
eminent to reduce them,
for no circumstances can
Justify it in assuming a
power not given it by the
Constitution, nor in taking
away the money of the
people when il is moi
needed for the legitimate
wants of the Government,
Plain as these princi-
pies appear to be. you
will find that there is q
constant effort to induce
the General Government
TO go beyond the limits Of
its taxing powers, and to
impose unnecessary bur
dens upon the people
Many powerful interests
are continually at work
to procure heavy duties
on commerce, an d tC
swell the revenue beyond
the real necessities of the
public service, and the
country has already fell

their combined influence

tanning a tariff of duties

laboring classes of socie'
ty, and producing n reve'
nue. that could not be use.
fully employed within
the range of the power
conferred upon Congress
and. in order to fasten
upon the people this un'
Just and unequal system
OF taxation, extravaganza
schemes of internal i'm
provement were got NJ
In various quarters to
squander the money and
to purchase support.
Thus, one unconstitu-
tional measure was in
tended TO be upheld by
another, and the abuse Of
the power of taxation
was to be maintained by
usurping the power Of
expanding the money in
internal Improvements.
There is but one safe rule,
and that is to confine the
the General Government
rigidly within the sphere
of its appropriate duties.
1t has no power to raise a
revenue or impose duties,
except for the purposes
enumerated in the Con-
stiIution; and, if its in
come is found to exceed
these wants. it should be
forthwith reduced, and
the burdens of the people
so far lightened.

Friendly, of Course.

The Ro1cdy Vest does not Join with
the other Douglas papers in abusing
Cheyenne and her representative men.
In q very able editorial on Douglas and
Central Wyoming it says:
The question is, what is the attitude
of Judge Carey, our delegate in congress.
and the people of Cheyenne generally,
toward the new town of Douglas and its
people2 Are they friendly OF antag-
onistic?
I'VE have been looking over the files
of the Cheyenne papers. and we fail to
find therein expressed any sentiments
that could reasonably be construed as an
tagonistic or detrimental to the town of
Douglas and its interests. On the other
hand, said papers seem eager to catch
and publish any item favorable to this
section. They note every important i'm
provement and always have a good word
for Central Wyoming, and especially for
Douglas.
Now, we ask, what has Judge Carey
done that he should be abused and
maligned and slandered by the other two
papers in this city? Their opposition can
not be political, as he and they all claim
to be Republicans. What, then, actuates
this continual howl against our represen
tative in congress? Has he not done
everything in his power to aid us?"

Those who fail to sec that there are
any prospects Of a building boom in
Cheyenne during the coming season
should remember that a new $3.50
depot is now being built. that a $3.50, 900
capitol will be erected during the coming
summer. that a $50, 900 hotel is to be
built, that a new j. T. Clark hose house
is to be built at a cost of 81, 500, that the
Knights Templar propose to erect q $25.-
900 three story brick block adjoining the
opera house, that E. Nagle will probably
build a $4,000 brick or stone residence
on the corner of Seventeenth and House
streets, hat A. II. Swan will erect a
building to cost probably not less than
$4,000 near his present residence, that
Thomas Swan will build q residence in
the vicinity OF the city park which will
cost not much, if any, less than $40, 900,
and that there are many Others who pro-
pose to build residences and other build
ings costing all the way from $500 to
$1,000 during the coming spring and
summer

That Contest.

1t is now explained that the system BY
which the judges arrived at their conclu-
sions at the declamatory contest was for
each one to mark down the degree of pro-
ticlency which in the opinion of the
judges the contestant was entitled to in a
scale from one to one hundred, thereby
placing it in the power of one or two of
the Judges to control the result to suit
themselves without reference to the views
Of the majority, which appears to have
been the case in one or two instances.
While one or two OF the judges by
marking a contestant down might defeat
the will of the majority, on the other
hand, by marking a contestant up above
where he or she belonged. the views of
the majority could be controlled as well.
A striking Illustration of this was fur
nished on the occasion in question. One
OF the judges started to mark a certain
contestant at sixty-fve, when a lady sit
ting close at hand and who saw what was
to be done said, why, that's too low,
mark it eighty-6ve," and the Judge
changed the figures accordingly. The
great trouble appears to have been with
the system. Had the judges met and
consulted after the Rotations were over
it would have been far better for all con
I cerned.

The plans of the proposed new Railroad
hotel were in Cheyenne Sunday, but have
been sent back to Omaha. Its proposed
to begin the erection of the new hotel by
about the LIST of May, and possibly sooner.
The new hotel is to have two fronts, one
toward the track and one on the west to-
ward the new depot. The frontage of the
hotel will be considerably more than 100
feet, and its width about half that dis
lance. 1t is to be three stories in height.
and will, no doubt, cost in the neighbor-
hood Of 500, 0OO. for it is to be Of brick
trimmed with the best of stone. The
front toward the railroad track will be far
enough back to give room for a park in
which, according to the plan as it appears
on paper, there is to be a fountain, to-
gether with trees, etc.

farewell visit. Us he is about to depart for

sion proved to be more than a friendly
call, for after everything had been satls-
factorily arranged to that end, Col. Muir.
rim, who headed the delegation, proceeded
to make a speech, which proved to be one
of presentation, for before he concluded
he handed to Mr.. McGregsr an elegant
gold watch on the case of which was the
following inscription: ITO Alex. Nc

Other presents were also made. including
a beautiful silver tea set. q portion Of
